Happy Halloween

As you can see I had big goals this year for Halloween.Ollie and Harper wanted to be Finn and Jake from Adventure time. Being that it is a newer show, I could not buy their costume. Luckily I only had to make Harper's cuz my very talented friend Abi made Ollie's, thanks lady! And then I had the silly idea of Black Swan for Davy. I have to admit it was partly because I already had a black ballerina outfit, so I thought cheap and easy. But I really did not think that one through as you will see.

Max being more mature, needed a scary/Ironic outfit like a zombie sock monkey.

My cannon is in the shop, so only Iphone pics this halloweeen, kind of a bummer.

So now on to Davy.......what was I thinking?!! I literally had eyeliner, lipstick and a fake bun in my hands to put on my 19 month old baby. Alyssa was all ready to hold her down and I realized what the hay am I doing? This is borderline child abuse. So I bagged the idea and she was just a scrappy black ballerina.

This is what I was going for

And this is what she ended up looking like

What she ended up looking like was a hot mess. This little girl won't even leave a clip in her hair, so why would I think she would wear a crown? Oh well, I loved my lil scrapper anyway.

How was your halloween? I would love to hear what you or your little ones were.

lol I love Max's costume... super fun! As for Davy's... I think it totally suits her not to be all glammed up... she's super adorable without it - totally like a rebel black swan! As she gets older, you will be trying to keep her out of your eyeliner and lipstick lol

We did Skeleton and Ariel... NEVER AGAIN will I be making a mermaid costume... ever!

LOL! I was thinking, as I was looking at Davy's picture, Wow... how did she get Davy to wear that eye stuff? Then I kept reading... HA! I love how you photoshopped it in! And I love her black swan dress. So cute! And the Zombie Sock monkey... I would have never thought of that one. It was very... cute/scary/and gruesome all at the same time. Good choice! My kids were (in order of ages 12, 10, 5, 3, and almost 1 yrs. old.) a Pirate, Indiana Jones/Bumble-Bee Transformers guy, Rapuzel/Tinkerbell, a Dalmation dog, and a cute little *very pink and very soft* kitty cat. {The slashes are because at different trunk or treats, or on Halloween night, said child decided to change his/her costume to something else.} Go figure! All in all, it was a fun 3 nights of trick or treating!

Davy's medical History

I am "the mom" to 3 boys and a little girl. Through taking a microarray test, we found out that my Davy girl has a rare chromosome deletion. I have written this out in hopes to find others who have any similiar conditions.

Davy has a microdeletion of 1p31.1-1p31.3. She has panhypopituitarism, a cleft lip and palate, Congenital heart defects(asd, vsd, pda and had a CoArc). She had a surgery for malrotation of the intestines, and a g-tube put in to feed her. She has GERD with esophagitis dysphagia. She is on multiple medictions that need to be given round the clock. Three of those she will need for the rest of her life. To read about her journey start here.
